🗑️ The Garbologist says…
Cooling Off
The Garbologist popped the lid on this card.
- 18 recorded sales · 5 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · moderate-confidence sample.
- Its last few sales went $50 → $100 → $135 → $142 → $120 — ran up to a peak of $182, then cooled back off.
- Median moved -21% across the window ($94 → $75).
- Census check: PSA has graded 98 of this card, and only 23.5% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily.
- Net-net, the heat is coming off — recent sales are softening. Could be a breather, could be a top; the trash doesn't say which.

How these numbers work
All-in cost $92: PSA Standard tier fee $60 per card, insured shipping to PSA ~$12, PSA insured return shipping ~$20. Sending it to your PSA Vault instead skips return shipping (vault intake and storage are free): ~$72 all-in, so a graded copy would net ~under $0.
Grade odds (this card, 98 PSA-graded): 10 · 23%, 9 · 41%, 8 · 16%, 7 or lower · 19%. People send their best copies, so a random raw copy usually grades a bit lower.
Values when it comes back (~95 days, about Feb 12, 2027): today's values (the set has no clear 3-month trend).
Expected value if graded = each grade's chance × its value, minus the all-in cost. A guide, not a guarantee — centering and corners on your copy decide the grade.
